Wayfinding Initiative
WAYFINDERS is a cost-free, immersive residency designed for young adults within the same region to come together, live, learn, work, and build community. The program unfolds in beautiful natural settings, providing diverse cohorts with opportunities to develop skills for creating regenerative futures.
Led by a transdisciplinary team of ILALI instructors and Landwell residential program partners, Wayfinders prioritizes practical, integrative learning. Rooted in fostering physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being, the program also offers opportunities for service and land stewardship. This holistic journey covers a wide array of subjects, from regenerative living practices to financial literacy, communication skills, technology and AI, wisdom traditions, and conflict resolution techniques.
In 2023, the post-pilot program yielded significant positive outcomes, including enhanced physical and mental health, improved ability to handle conflicts, better relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose. Participants initiated new jobs and businesses, pursued graduate studies, and sustained community-building activities, as well as equity and land stewardship efforts.
